Group demanding IU changes calls for strike, marches through campus

Protesters on Indiana University's main campus called for a general strike on campus Thursday and Friday to demand tuition cuts, fee eliminations, more African-American enrollment, and a halt to privatization of parking on the Bloomington and Indianapolis campuses.

On Thursday, they urged students to leave classes and join a march. The group of about 200 protesters began a march about noon as police followed the crowd and in one case blocked the group from entering one building.

One woman yelled to students, "Get out of the class and into the street, join the strike."

Dozens of protesters last week stormed into the office of Bloomington Provost Lauren Robel.
